If it’s genuine (they are a lot of fakes out there so be careful) then it could be worth a few hundred bucks, especially if it’s a fort William model in good condition with a sheath, maybe even more, get it checked out by an antique dealer, or send a photo if there is none in your location.
@@ShelleyRaskin I'm not exactly sure of its providence but it looked identical to a WWI kukri, no sheath, but what looked like a butt plate that had been riveted to the hilt, then removed. Anyway, I sold it a few days ago. Thank you anyway, for the information.
Kind of does, supposed to be like the symbol for the British crown. Has some hardening tests on it, but I suspect they are fake given the cost of Rockwell testers
@@ShelleyRaskin most use files that give a rough idea of what the HRC is, I haven't personally seen them but evidently you can get specific HRC files. Most of the hardness testers we have in my industry don't even measure HRC.
If it scratches with 65 scale it must be below that, grab the 60 check, grab the 55 check, you get a rough idea but not an exact reading, a Rockwell tester pushes a ball bearing into the steel and measure the depth it goes, a small ball bearing, leaves a small indentation on the metal, you should do a couple of tests to get an average. They are big, heavy and slightly delicate machines. I can’t afford one. The files are a lot cheaper, but only tell you roughly where you are at.

Good job. There is good information on the old kukri's on the Heritage kukri site. With photo's.
Any idea of what an original Mk 1 WWI kukri might be worth to a collector?

I need one
Beware it’s not light, designed for heavy use.
The cho (is that the right word?) looks like a nipple wrench to me.

@@turtlewolfpack6061 you can buy specific rock well testing files, they tell you roughly what you are at i.e

@@ShelleyRaskin I know what a hardness tester is, been using them for over 25 years, just our machines aren't scaled in HRC.
